I dont know but i think there is a bushing that goes in that hole which then would have a smaller, probably 3/8 hole in it.

Size

Yes, there is a bushing - on both ends. I had to replace the bushings on both ends of my bellcrank. Fusick and others sell them, including McMaster Carr - much better price at MC, but you need the dimensions. I'll try and find the numbers that I measured when I replaced mine.

The assembly manual doesnt show a bushing in there and i can find them in fusick or inline tube catalog. If you have any info on these it would be appreciated. Thanks brandon

FWIW I don't know if the hole sizes are the same but 68-69 Z-bars are not the same as 70-72's

I thought that bushing was for the clutch pedal as the assembly manual show. Is it the same bushing for the z bar too?

The rod from the clutch pedal to the Z-bar is a different diameter than the rod from the Z-bar to the fork so they couldn't use the same bushing so back to my original question does anybody know the whole size on the Z-bar that goes to the clutch fork pushrod or have a picture of one showing a factory bushing in there?
